If you searched long enough you'd find quite a few gems. Last year Cannibal Corpse released their greatest album to date, Jack White formed a new band called The Dead Weather that are already in the works of a second album, The Mars Volta, plus a whole myriad of other bands/artists you've never heard of before.

I've heard ALL of them.

The Mars Volta is good.The widow is still their best song to date in my opinion

I listen to TONS of metal.I haven't liked Cannibal Corpse since the lead singer became cookie monster and did Six Feet Under.

Heard some of the dead weather,and sure they are okay,but the point I was trying to make is that "mainstream" has destroyed the music industry.The last band that has made a historical impact on music was Nirvana.

After that,there are none.The biggest band out there,right now,is Nickelback.And I hate them.They suck.

As for Lady GaGa being orginal.No.Simply put,she is doing EXACTLY what Madonna did,only using more techno.

We all "like" different types of music.But the likelihood of us seeing another Beatles,Stones,Floyd,AC/DC,Skynyrd,Allman Bros.,CCR,Black Sabbath,etc,are slim and none.And the trend that we are going down now,it is only getting progressively worse.

I'd say that your musical exposure and knowledge is quite limited, which is not a big deal. But being unaware of great musical projects, is no reason to assume that none exist.

The bands you listed are indeed great, but there are many bands just as good, if not better. That of course is up to the listener to decide, but I cannot imagine having such a narrow focus. One thing that I recommend to you is the application "Lastfm" - I have discovered hundreds of new bands while listening to the bands and solo musicians that I already know and love, simply by using the "similar artists" search function made available to you.

Oh, and another neat aspect to "Lastfm" is the user profiles. For instance, if you were to play a Black Sabbath track, other users' profiles that listen to a lot of Black Sabbath will appear for you to browse their play history, which is another way to find music that you might be interested in. As Sylar would say, "you get to pick their brains". I use Lastfm with my iTunes, I'm not sure if it works with other media players, but I assume that it should.

Do people here believe that in another hundred years, time will still be reference by abrahamic/judeo/christian constraints?

Abrahamic but not Christian. Muslim. They're taking over. Their only real competition is us atheists but we don't have a damn calendar unless you think the CoS one will catch on. Wait! Maybe we could start our calendar with Prehistoric Lucy. We'd be in the year 3.18 Million PL.

Or we could date from Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle. He embarked December 27, 1831. So that renumbers December 27, 2009 as Embarking Day, 178 VB. I like it! I bet a lot of biologists around the world would get behind that one. Richard Dawkins for sure.
